Has Season 3 Of The Morning Show Been Confirmed?
On January 11, Variety confirmed that The Morning Show would be returning to our screens for a third time. But now, with Charlotte Stoudt taking on screenwriter duties for the 10-episode season.

“I’m excited to be joining forces with Apple TV Plus and The Morning Show” Stoudt said in a press release, via Variety.
“The cast, led by the phenomenal Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, are truly to die for. Kerry, Mimi and Michael, and the teams at Media Res, Hello Sunshine and Echo Films, have created an irresistible world that is equally delicious and provocative.”
“It has been thrilling to watch The Morning Show go from strength to strength over the past two seasons, exploring topical storylines that have resonated with audiences around the world while also being incredibly addictive and entertaining,” Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV Plus, added.
“We’re excited to see where Charlotte takes these extraordinary characters in season three and to watch the magic that Jennifer, Reese and our awe-inspiring cast continue to bring to the captivating world of morning television.”
What Is The Plot Of The Morning Show Season 3?
During season two, The Morning Show saw the news team emerging from yet more wreckage.

With Alex testing posting for the virus, while Bradley and Cory searching for her missing brother wind up in a COVID disaster zone, sans masks, fans are left wondering how the show will go on with two COVID positive leads. As for Cory, well, after declared his love to Bradley, the pair will likely have to navigate how they'll move forward, with Bradley in a relationship and unaware of Cory's betrayal of her.
